"Fine."
"..."
"Let's talk when we get back." Jiutiao Meijie gave him a glance.
Both returned to the villa in Shinbashi, Jiutiao Meijie bathed first, followed by Dubian Che.
When he came out, Jiutiao Meijie, holding a tablet, leaned against the headboard in her pajamas.
Her waist was cinched with a slim belt, outlining her slender figure, her body curving attractively.
"Come here." Seeing Dubian Che emerge, she put down the tablet and commanded with her arms folded.
Dubian Che climbed onto the bed, about to make a move.
"Sit up straight." Jiutiao Meijie's perfectly manicured fingertips pointed towards the foot of the bed.
"...Yes." Dubian Che withdrew his hand and sat upright at the foot of the bed.
"Speak."
"I was wrong." Dubian Che was very straightforward.
"I told you to speak." Cruel as a devil, the beautiful young girl commanded.
"..." Dubian Che recounted everything that happened outside the VIP area.
"You really know how to act cool," Jiutiao Meijie said sarcastically.
"I also have moments when I can't control my emotions."
"Act it out for me."
"What?"
"Do I need to say it twice?"
"..."
Dubian Che stood up and slowly turned his back.
"Hold on, take this." Jiutiao Meijie pointed to the bedsheet.
"Do I really need that?"
"Fine," Jiutiao Meijie agreed cheerfully.
"...Okay."
"Then watch closely, my dear Jiutiao classmate." Dubian Che flipped the bedsheet like a cape and draped it behind, the sheet fluttering.
He turned his head slightly:
"I'll show you what it means to stand at the apex."
Jiutiao Meijie was expressionless.
But Dubian Che, who knew her inside and out, knew she was holding back a laugh, and it was quite a struggle.
Usually, when suppressing a laugh, she would appear disdainful and cold, but when she really wanted to laugh, she made no expression because it might escape.
Such habits were not present in Jiutiao Meijie before; there had been nothing in her life truly amusing enough.
Until she met Dubian Che.
Dubian Che tied the bedsheet around his neck, turning it into a complete cape.
He jumped off the bed, stood by the window with his right foot raised, folded his arms, and declared coldly yet imposingly:
"Now, let them despair."
Jiutiao Meijie looked at him with a cold gaze.
Dubian Che: "..."
'Why isn't she laughing? A miscalculation? Impossible!'
Suddenly, Jiutiao Meijie lifted her leg, causing her nightgown to slip down, revealing her pale, beautiful legs.
"A treat for you," Queen Jiutiao said cruelly and haughtily with a smile.
"..." Dubian Che dove in, ready to make her despair.
After enjoying her legs, he slipped under her nightgown.
Jiutiao Meijie clenched her teeth and squirmed as if her body was ticklish.
"...Che," she said in a melodious and seductive tone.
"Meijie." Dubian Che straightened up and scooped up her legs.
Jiutiao Meijie naturally wrapped her legs around his waist.
Her exquisitely beautiful face flushed red, her luxurious black hair spread on the white bed, her head thrown back.
When they came to their senses, it was already late at night, and all was quiet.
Dubian Che found a pillow, placed it under his head, and cuddled the panting Jiutiao Meijie close, wrapping her in his arms.
Then, he pulled a thin blanket over their abdomens.
Jiutiao Meijie clung tightly to Dubian Che's body, silent for a long time.
Dubian Che savored the warmth of her body, kissing her forehead and bangs.
"Meijie, thank you," he whispered softly.
Jiutiao Meijie lazily opened her eyes: "Let's not bring up the past anymore."
She closed her eyes again, comfortably leaning on Dubian Che's arm.
"Although I really hate that it was because of her you stepped up, it wasn't just because of her. Seeing another side of you cancels it out, I suppose."
Watching Jiutiao Meijie in his arms, Dubian Che recalled what Xiaoquan Aonai had said:
"Only mutual care and understanding can bring happiness in life."
Mayi Asuka had no demands, even the time she spent with him was his decision;
Xiaoquan Aonai volunteered to have Mayi Asuka over for dinner, slowly warming up their relationship, showing politeness in front of Jiutiao Meijie, and considerately mentioned she didn't mind;
Now, Jiutiao Meijie was also beginning to learn to be considerate.
He must care and be considerate of them in the same way.
Dubian Che bowed his head and captured Jiutiao Meijie's rose-like luscious lips.
"Again?"
"No, I'm tired!" Jiutiao Meijie pulled up the blanket, covering her enticing body. "Tomorrow we still have to... Ah! Dubian Che!"
'This isn't exactly mutual consideration, is it?' Dubian Che thought during the encounter.
The next day, they packed their luggage and drove to Mrs. Kiyono's palatial villa.
As Jiutiao Meijie refused to get out of bed, they arrived at the agreed time, Mrs. Kiyono and Mrs. Jiutiao were already there.
"Let's go!" Without giving them any rest, Mrs. Kiyono commanded immediately.
They didn't leave, but instead went to the garden.
At ten in the morning, the sun was already too hot for anyone to venture out easily.
In the garden, large-leaved sunflowers bloomed passionately;
Next to the sunflowers, beautiful Lagerstroemia flowers flourished;
Lilies, cosmos, zinnias, roses, pomegranate flowers, hibiscus, mimosa, lotus...
There were many flowers, so many that it seemed the flowers visible in July were all present here.
"Look, the forget-me-nots are still blooming." Kiyono Lin remarked while looking at a part of the garden.
"Like them?" Mrs. Kiyono turned to her daughter. "Should we pick some to take home?"
"Yes." Kiyono Lin nodded.
Mrs. Kiyono instructed the servants to bring scissors and a vase.
Dubian Che carried the luggage onto the yacht.
This yacht, moored alongside Tokyo Bay, was quite luxurious.
It had three floors; the first floor comprised bedrooms equipped with everything needed for living, including large double beds, even walk-in closets, not to mention the essential bathrooms.
